In the Brooder
Hi all! New to chicks and I have these two Easter eggers that are about six weeks old. I'm driving myself nuts trying to figure out whether they are pullets (supposed to be) or cockerels. Help?

Once they hit puberty, they may not ever get along. You may need to separate them both from the pullets as well, until their hormones settle a bit. Young cockerels can be rough with pullets their first year out. Especially if there's no older hens to put them in their place and teach them control.Yes the barred rock back there is DEF a roo. He is so sweet loves to be handled but lemon has been chasing him around the run. Hoping they figure out this pecking order thing and will be peace!
Yikes! Probably!View attachment 1768008
